I'm in as long as we are dumping that 'say your prayers' totally agree with you guys-pita trick

And I finally have a camera

1) Dig/wipe your paws

And ...I love this trick...Mandy can do it but I haven't taught Mikey-you reminded me..

This sounds like fun! I got a book of Dog Tricks the other day, but havent really utilized the book yet..lol.. I would love to teach Payslee to cover her eyes..I think it would be hysterical at the assisted living centers, but that seems like something I could never do! lol..I'm on board though, this sounds funtimes!

What about 'shame on you!' and the dog lays down and covers their eyes-it's soooo cute and actually quite easy

Kitty knows that one lol it's her default trick- if she's not sure what to do she covers her face. SO cute. I can't wait to teach it to one of the others

I have seen a "shame on you" where the dog buries its face in a pillow. Perhaps we can allow both styles?

Sounds like a good idea.
So does the dog have to be in a down when they cover their face?

I think any shame we could allow-there's really no prize right -oh except status in signature

It's not money so let's be flexible and allow any 'shameful looking' dog doing it on cue

What do you guys think? I like the different variations. And one dog may do it better in a down while another does it standing-both are cute imho

I agree Mikey!
So due when? February 9th so everyone has a chance to see this thread?

**fawkese1** · 01-08-2010, 05:49 PM

i vote february 15th... it is an even number and that gives 1 week for everyone to view the thread...

oh and just to clarify... are we doing just the "shame" on cue or both that and the "dig" on cue?

Sounds like fun!
I bet Roxy will be able to learn both pretty quickly!

Another trick for the future could be waving hello and/or goodbye.
I use this one often with Roxy and eveyone seems to get a kick out of it.

Both why not? Then everyone could try both and even if only one works out still participate
